Oil burning ? - StefanUK - 02-03-2013
After accelerating hard the smell of burning comes through the vents and also emits white smoke from the exhuast with the same burning smell, kind of smells sweet. I removed the oil cap and steam came out of that aswell.
any ideas thanks

Sounds like it could be the head gasket but it's rare for one to go on these engines.
The oil burning smell could be whatever oil is on the outside of the engine burning as the temps rise when booting it and if it's a bit of steam coming out the rocker that could be whatever water as condensed in the engine boiling off?
Is the car getting through water, oil, is there any oil in the expansion tank and is the cooling system pressurising a lot more then usual?

That sweet smell is burning coolant. As said above, sounds like headgasket, although could be a knackered water/oil heat exchanger.

Cars not using any oil or water and runs spot on

If its oil smell and white smoke it could be the turbo seals.....mine does it and I know its f*cked lol. If its sweet smelling coolant and white steam though, thats more likely to be headgasket blown as said above.

No sign of emulsion in the oil cap, coolant tank or sump?
